New submission from Irit Katriel <iritkatr...@yahoo.com>:
The `logging.handlers.MemoryHandler.setTarget()` method does not acquire the
lock, so it can change the target while flush is processing the buffer.
The script below causes flush to call target.handle when target is None,
causing:
File "C:\Users\User\src\cpython\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 1265, in emit
self.flush()
File "C:\Users\User\src\cpython\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 1348, in flush
self.target.handle(record)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'handle'
------------------------------------------------
import io
import logging.handlers
import threading
import time
class SlowHandler:
def __init__(self):
self.stream = io.StringIO()
self.streamHandler = logging.StreamHandler(self.stream)
def handle(self, msg):
time.sleep(1)
self.streamHandler.handle(msg)
target = SlowHandler()
mem_hdlr = logging.handlers.MemoryHandler(10, logging.ERROR, target)
mem_logger = logging.getLogger('mem')
mem_logger.propagate = False
mem_logger.addHandler(mem_hdlr)
def toggleTarget():
time.sleep(1)
mem_hdlr.setTarget(None)
t = threading.Thread(target=toggleTarget, args=())
t.daemon = True
t.start()
while True:
time.sleep(0.1)
mem_logger.warning("warning not flushed")
mem_logger.error("error is flushed")
